Q: What is the tense called: "I have got a book"

V.V.What's the name of the tense of the above-mentioned example:present simple or present perfect, or perhaps something else in modern grammar? Or simply "present"? Thanks in advance. I have got a book.

Old places, new faces.
Mar 25, 2018 18:39
Do you think it is...
Mar 25, 2018 18:37
Could you tell me if it is...
Mar 25, 2018 18:36
I'd like to know if it is...
Mar 25, 2018 18:29
If you use a preposition, then don't say "if"
Mar 25, 2018 18:27
No, It's just an indirect question, like reported speech. You have a conjunction "if".
Mar 25, 2018 18:25
@Trey, It's something about difficulty you have come across.
Mar 25, 2018 18:23
Perhaps without "about".
Mar 25, 2018 17:23
Privet,@snailplane, thanks.

Hi all! What's the common way to say "replenish my/your mobile account ", I mean "put some money"?

Feb 26, 2018 20:27
This winter is quite mild.
Feb 26, 2018 20:25
Ah, so at least you have seen it and can imagine.
Feb 26, 2018 20:24
Perhaps you have never had it.
Feb 26, 2018 20:23
You didn't have any snow, did you?
Feb 26, 2018 20:21
I wish I had such weather. Enjoy.
Feb 26, 2018 20:19
No, I saw you more often earlier, and because it's cold

Are you OK?

Это интересно:cлoвo «угу» являетcя cинoнимoм к cлoвaм «пoжaлуйcтa», «cпacибo», «дoбpый день», «не зa чтo» и «извините», a cлoвo «дaвaй» в бoльшинcтвe cлучaeв зaмeняeт «дo cвидaния».
2. Κaк пepeвecти нa дpугиe языки, чтo «oчeнь умный» — нe вceгдa кoмплимeнт, «умный oчeнь» — издeвкa, a «cлишкoм умный» — угpoзa?
3. Πoчeму у нac ecть будущee вpeмя, нacтoящee и пpoшeдшee, нo вcё paвнo нacтoящим вpeмeнeм мы мoжeм выpaзить и пpoшeдшee («Иду я вчepa пo улицe...»), и будущee («Зaвтpa я иду в кинo»), a пpoшeдшим вpeмeнeм мы мoжeм выpaзить пpикaз («Быcтpo ушёл oтcюдa!»)?
Mar 29, 2022 06:38
Same to you. Thanks a lot.
Mar 29, 2022 06:34
I see. Thanks for this information shared
Mar 29, 2022 06:31
I believe it should be somewhat advertised on the main site, it isn't prohibited in any way.
Mar 29, 2022 06:25
People could practise and ask questions here, but I am afraid people don't even know about it's exiistence.
Mar 16, 2022 06:32
It's a good idea to revive the chat. Do people know about it?
